This fast-paced interactive workshop has room for no more than 50 people in each session. Each Insurtech will be matched up with several “Advisors” (i.e. carriers, other participants, etc.). The facilitators will present the OKR method, followed by each Insurtech working on their actual OKRs with their assigned Advisors. At the end of the session, each Insurtech will pitch their most pressing OKRs to the room, whereby other Insurtechs and Advisors can reach out to them after for future potential collaboration opportunities.

When defining innovation, most companies have an easy time getting to the “why”, “when” or “what” but many struggle with the question of “how”: because ideation is often easy and implementation never is. Whether to Build, Buy or Partner - now that is the question and each choice comes with its own set of implications and challenges. Join this session to hear three impassioned perspectives and what drove their insurtech strategy.
AI is set to revolutionize the entire P&C and Life/Health industry food chain and society in general. This fast-paced discussion will focus on the key developments and timelines in this rapidly evolving field.

RegTech: A case study for how to solve industry challenges through open innovation
11:30
The insurance industry has a deep culture of collaboration; working together to form best practices, discuss common issues and develop industry guidelines so why don’t we see more collaboration on the digital front? If you asked around most people would tell you that industry collaboration to build a platform is too complex, high risk and it just won’t work. Join Tonya Blackmore, CEO of Apexa, who will share a case study of how they broke through these barriers to launch an industry platform to monitor regulatory compliance of life insurance advisors across Canada. During this session Tonya will discuss how they rallied the support of the industry, kept them engaged, created a unique business model and why RegTech is ripe for more digital collaboration.

Much has been said about the threat to the insurance industry status quo emanating from the startups like speedboats, buzzing around the incumbent battleships. The real game-changing upheaval is more likely to come from huge external players with unmatched consumer reach in other industries, like alien spacecraft, who are looking to take a bite out of insurance distribution and perhaps even manufacturing from above. Enter the Barbarians!
